Camano Island Fire

Some people on Camano Isle,

Built their houses facing west…

They viewed both Whidbey Island,

And the Olympic mountains at their best.

The serenity and natural beauty,

Satisfied every heart’s desire…

‘till that day I glanced out my window,

Seeing Camano Island on fire.

I realized it was the sunset,

Reflected in every windowpane…

It was exactly one year later,

I saw Camano catch fire again.
